magnitsky in prison in 2008. mr. magnitsky was detained for 11 months without trial, russian officials pressured him to deny what he uncovered, to lie and recant, but he refused. he was sickened by what his government had done and he refused to surrender principle to brute power. as a result, mr. magnitsky was transferred to increasingly more severe and more horrific prison conditions. he was forced to eat unclean food and drink unsanitary water. he was denied basic medical care, as his health worthened, in fact, he was placed in increasingly worse conditions until on november 16, 2009, having served 358 days in prison, sergei magnitsky died. he was 37 years old. what is even more tragic is that the case of mr. magnitsky is only one of the most extreme examples of the broad and dramatic deterioration of rule of law in russia. and its replacement with arbitrary and nearly unchecked rule state power which is increasingly concentrated in the hands of one man, president vladimir putin. what is emerging in russia today ca

the magnitsky along before us is not the magnitsky language adopted by our finance and foreign relations committees. their magnitsky language applied the same sanctions to human rights violators wherever they might be, whether in russia or syria or sudan or north korea or china or any other country. in other words, the senate committee-approved bill wisely adopted a global magnitsky standard. the reasoning for this is sound. because while the mechanism of u.s. visa denial for human rights violators was inspired by a single case in a single nation, the principles that it seeks to advance are universal. this bipartisan committee bill, unlike the house-passed version of the magnitsky act that we will soon vote on, does not single out russian human rights violators for visa denial but would apply the visa denial mechanism to people from any country who violate important human rights standards. the united states should be clear and firm in its commitment to protecting human rights. wherever the violation occur. and to holding those who violate those rights accountable to the best of our abili
